General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread

[MexicanAnime]

After finishing Code Geass R2, I have come to the conclusion that the series has some pretty bad writing, especially in season 2. The whole story of the show is driven by plot conveniences which come out of no where many times, to the point where it was too silly to be taken seriously to where I just paused the video and laughed or sighed at what I had just witnessed.

However, I almost don't care. While this does cause the show to bump down for me, the show overall is very fun and bombastic with its colorful characters and scenes of triumph that may come from either side of the show. Despite the large cast, never once did I feel that the show was flooded with characters as it was to the point where I felt that any of the characters could become the main protagonists as there was many that are fleshed out quite well. While I know many people would pick Lelouch as their favorite character, I'm actually going to have to go with a side character as my favorite despite liking Lelouch. The one I'm referring to is good old Orange Boy, Jeremiah.

While I do have my gripes with multiple scenes, some scenes were done incredibly well and there's two that I want to specifically point out.

Spoiler

This is funny because I was actually spoiled by both of these, but I honestly loved the ending of Code Geass and I thought the death of Shirley was done quite well that felt tragic.

While I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped, I still had a blast with the series and I'm glad I finally caved in and watched the show.
